Brooks Unisex Green Silence Competition Road Running,Black/Maize/Roxy Red,8.5 D Review
I decided to try the Green Silence because I wanted to see what impact, if any, a lightweight shoe would have on my times. I picked the Green Silence for the "eco friendly" concept, and because of the crazy color scheme. Not really an informed purchase.I'm a 6'- 3", 190 lb. guy, so I'm not small. I've been running on Nike Zoom Vomeros for the past two years and didn't think that I'd find a shoe that would offer me as much comfort as the cushioning found in the Vomeros. I was very happy to find that despite their light weight and minimalist design, that the Green Silence offered the necessary amount of cushioning. I was also pleased with the large toe box. I've used them for 3 runs so far. My thoughts:
Run #1, speed work, 6 x 400's:
My feet felt more... nimble? Without the weight of my typical shoe weighing me down, I felt like the speed work was much easier. This was my first effort with these shoes. I ordered size 13 (I usually wear size 12 in Nike), and it was perfect. NO blisters after my first run. Total of 5 miles, including the 6 x 400.
Run #2, tempo run, 5 miles:
This is where I expected to start to complain about the more minimalistic design. Nope. My feet felt great, still no blisters. I also noticed that I'm not landing on my heel the way I was before.
Run #3, long slow run, 10 miles:
I still can't believe that these are a lightweight shoe. The cushioning provided a great ride for the entire run. At the end of 10 miles I felt like I could have kept going for another 10. Finally, a blister on the front of my big toe, never had that one before... I still think ordering the size bigger was the right decision though.
I would definitely recommend these shoes.
